What drives the score
How to read this
Every input gets a grade, S to D, read from the buyer's side. The score is multiplicative, so an input only counts as raising when it sits near the top of its own scale. Anything with real room left is holding the score back, because that room is the gap to 100. ▲ marks a lift, ▼ a drag or a dock, ? an input we do not have, • a fact this genre's score does not use. The exact weights stay secret.
The value story
It has never been cheaper than $9.79. That was June 2015. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 88 in the 14 years tracked, about 7 weeks apart. Today it is at full price. The last sale was about 3 weeks ago, and on this game's rhythm the next one tends to arrive within 7 weeks. $7.12 is what it would take to make this a BANGER, and nothing in its history goes that low.
On value it sits in the top 17 percent of its genre. It is pricier than 82 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 93 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 2 (2009) ($19.99, scores 90) beats it on value, while it beats Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® ($59.99, scores 28).

What players say
It's 2026 and I never played any CoD games, started with this one, just completed the main single player campaign and it was awesome!
It was a great game but the multiplayer is full of malware that auto downloads and installs without your consent and the multiplayer is pretty broken now anyway. Steam should seriously remove it from the store, it's dangerous software now. Also it's 19 years old and they're still charging almost full price for it.
Player reviews from Steam: the most helpful all-time, plus the newest that clear the same quality bar, with the hours each player had put in when they wrote it. The mix of Recommended and Not recommended follows the game's Steam ratio. Rotates daily. Opinions are theirs.

Call of Duty® 4: Modern Warfare® (2007) scores 67/100 on the BANG Score (fair value). The BANG Score rates what a game is worth for the money. Via Steam BANGERS. https://steambangers.com/game/7940/call-of-duty-4-modern-warfare-2007The BANG Score is one number for value, 0 to 100: price against how it reviews and how long it was built to be. It answers the money question and stops there; whether the game is for you is still your call.
Reviews set the ceiling and price moves you inside it, so a cheap game that reviews badly cannot climb. Ratings from few reviewers are shrunk toward the middle, so 100 percent from nine people does not outrank 96 percent from ninety thousand. Length comes from HowLongToBeat where it can be matched, measured against a per-genre floor so a five-hour narrative game is judged against other narrative games rather than against a sixty-hour RPG. Where no verified length exists the score says so and carries a dock, because the biggest input is then a guess. The full method, including where it is weak → Steam reviews as of Aug 3, price as of Sep 24.
